Tibet Cho Oyu Expedition
Tibet Cho Oyu Expedition (8201 meters) is world’s sixth highest mountain; however it is the easiest to climb among the other 8000 meter high mountains. Ever since Austrian team of mountaineers ascended the peak from Tibet’s side in 1954, the peak expedition is one of the most popular expeditions that Tibet has to offer. However, not many attempt the expedition from Nepalese side as the south face of the Cho Oyu Mountain is very steep and challenging, so obviously the route is rarely attempted. Tibet offers a very safe route to the mountain and provides access to modern mountaineering services.
Expedition needs proper planning, so our expert Sherpa climbing team will set up advanced base camp before starting the climb. Also, further three camps are placed en-route to the summit. Wind is one of the major obstacles to deal with during the expedition, so our Sherpa experts do the strong planning to help you succeed with the Tibet Cho Oyu expedition.
We at Skyline Treks and Expedition have years of experience organizing the fully organized expeditions to Cho Oyu from Tibet. We can take care of it all, starting from providing logistical support to obtaining expedition permissions also including high altitude climbing assistants!
